Here's the screenshot:

Notice the browser tab showing a tag. Here's one that does not work like that:
https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/378481/need-algorithm-to-c-code-conversion-assistance

The link is https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/threads/533760/please-i-want-to-change-c-to-c

I don't see a tag being called out in all tabs so there's something of a randomness there.

Not a big deal and you have much bigger areas to work.

This is by design. We single out the most popular tag out of the topic’s list of tags.

Then, we preface the topic title with the tag, UNLESS the tag already appears in the topic title. For example, we will do “c++ - string help” to give clarification to the topic, since string help as a title on its own can be a bit ambiguous. But if the topic title is already “help with c++ strings” then there’s no need for the additional clarification.

I guess, in retrospect, we can change the behavior so that if the most popular/relevant keyword is already explicitly mentioned, we could show the second best choice instead of dropping it entirely.

It's fine as it is. I noticed it and wondered if something odd was going on. As you explained, it's working as intended. It's just me. I tend to notice such things and as noted above it's really a small thing which you have bigger problems to work on.

Here the move/changes caused by sale/purchase has me learning yet another moderator/forum system. CNET Forums go read only on Dec. 1, 2020.

I had some time this morning, so I decided to go ahead and fix this anyways. Now, even if the first choice tag already appears in the topic's title, it will attempt the second choice, etc.
